hh1 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hi all, I want to upgrade to an android head unit in my car, and im stuck between these two Erisin 2046B Xtrons unit They both run android 4.4.4 and they SEEM to be the same unit, was wondering if anyone has one of these two and if they're the same/which one would be better? I used to have an MGZT and they use the same stuff and the dynavin was the one to have but this was a while ago and things have changed it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontpannic Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm in the same predicament. I wouldn't mind a Dynavin - but these Android units seem to suit my needs a little better (I would like to have Spotify running on the HU itself rather than through my phone) amongst other things. At the moment it seems to be much of a muchness, though there are one or two members here who REALLY dislike the Chinese headunits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh1 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I still haven't pulled the trigger on any of them yet but think I'm gonna go for that Erisin one, I'll probs do a video review or something as there isn't much on on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermitthefrog Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I've had the Erisin fitted a month now and love it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontpannic Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Righto - I ordered one of the Pure Android units Chimp Choker recommended some time ago. It's a Rk3188 unit, so quad core, 1gb RAM, Android 4.4.4. It has come with a very stock looking launcher rather than the one with the time or what's playing on the left hand side of the screen - in fact it looks like stock Android. So far, I'm extremely pleasantly surprised. The sound quality from this unit is great - matches the Alpine unit it's replacing. Screen lovely and clear, nice and responsive. Everything works out of the box. I'm just converting my BMW aux cable to the phono cables supported by this unit, then got to locate and install a reversing camera + external mic for the bluetooth, but so far, so good. feva 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feva Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Good news Pannic. I can say after seeing Chimps in the flesh it was an amazing unit. Sound was great and customization ability was very impressive. Even for a cheap Chinese unit [emoji6] Sent from my Note 4 using tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontpannic Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I got the install fully finished this weekend. Very pleased with the unit, build quality, audio quality, speed, features, and looks. Not bad for sub £300. feva 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawyered07 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 i pushed them for lowest and they said 262 was bottom line on ebay. although i bought mine from the erisin website for £240 (something like £215 plus £25 DHL insured shipping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Check if the unit is dual or quad core, there are also some higher resolution units out there. Some sellers don't know what they have. Ask the seller for the mcu version and the rom version. Post or pm me and I'll advise. I've had both the dual and quad core. The manufacturer is also developing an octa core based on the RK3368 running lollipop, I'll most likely get one of those as well Sent from my LG-H815 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tewkes Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Is that better than the other above? If so in what ways. How much do they accept? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Tbh, they are all the same made out of the same factory. I would ask the following What's the mcu version? How many firmware updates this year? Why buy from you? Sent from my LG-H815 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG-H815 So this morning this was their reply to me: "Thank you for your email MCU:MTCB-GS-V2.59 2015.06.16 Do not have the method for update now There is no discount on the unit" What ya think?

Chimp Choker Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Ok, the mcu are not changeable between units ie you can only use a gs mcu on a gs unit. Latest modded gs mcu in the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61291848&postcount=14139 As for rom, only difference is either dual core or quad core. Again I'd use malaysk rom based on dual or quad core as below. http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3590033 Please note though there are 2 resolutions 800 x 480 and 1024 x 600 How much is unit. I'd also confirm if it's dual core chipset rk3066 or quad core chipset rk3188 Sent from my LG-H815 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontpannic Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 The one I linked is a 1024x600 RK3188 Quad Core unit. My MCU version: MTCB-KGL-V2.55 and Android version: 4.4.4_01062015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewkes Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Fuuuuuuuck. This is so confusing. Haha. No idea what's better etc. All I wanna do is have a nice screen, watch DVDs or connect my iPhone 6 for Spotify.

dontpannic Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 If that's all you're after, get any one of the quad core units with higher screen resolution. They're all much of a muchness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
